DAMN YOU, UCLA: FOILED AGAIN!

PrintThe Subcommandante will be along in a bit. First, foozball news.
Never outsource your dastardly plots. Never! There FSU was, all tied to the railroad tracks, down 27-23 and getting run over by UCLA, a team that couldn't run its way through soggy drywall all year. If it was us in charge of this dastardly plot, we would have twiddled our inky black mustache, secured the Seminoles to the track tightly with only the newest, bleached-white rope, and then backed away and let the 4:23 inbound from Portland do the work.
Alas: not all help is created equal. UCLA just sat there, locked at 27-23 for five minutes or so, and when the inevitable rush came flying back for FSU, they collapsed. Yes, they did get off the rails with the assistance of a positively negligent no-call on a pass-interference play where Greg Carr tossed a db to the ground and caught the patented Jeff Bowden Jump Ball for a touchdown. (Jeff Bowden's reaction shot nearly made us throw up our cough medicine.)
But UCLA let Polly Trueheart off the tracks, and even loosened a few coils of the rope just to make things fair. Nestor and the rest of Bruins Nation weren't even surprised, right? 4th and nothing on FSU's goal line, and Dorrell opts for the field goal despite running at will on FSU's defense to that point. That's how you end up losing 44-27 to a team Wake Forest blanked at home.
Never, ever send someone else to do your dirty work. Nevah!
Always, always tie the maiden to the tracks yourself. You never know how other people will do it.

the look on bowdens face with that smirky grin was just priceless after that carr catch.
it’s almost like he was thinking of making a withdrawl with some of the boosters money and going to disneyland.

I can’t help myself, as much as I dislike FSU, I had to pull for them. Only because of who they were playing. Will you Florida fans get over the penalty calls. Especially the one at Auburn, Leak intended to tuck that ball, why else would he not have released it? That ball was facing nose down and Leak’s arm had passed the point of release when it was knocked loose. Besides, who says you would have won anyway! Enough of that, Go Gators and beat those Buckeyes.

No, Broderick would get the job done. Either tie her down nice and tight, or throw her from his dirigible.

Wow, Ed Legion, that was beyond random. And completely stupid, too.

You have to wonder about the fate of the USC football team after watching this one. Were they kidnapped, tied up in the basement and replaced on the field by the bruin scout team (or their cheerleaders) 25 days ago?
Still one of the most bizarre games this season. How could USC have lost to these guys?

Hey Joe #6 , Sometimes things that appear random and stupid are just simply over your head, no don’t look up it’s just a figure of speech. No, speech doesn’t have a figure, it’s actually……oh forget it

pblum1,
Watching Jeff Bowden’s offense put up 27 points on UGLA was the equivalent of an avalanche of salt being poured on my Dec. 2nd wound.
It still stings.

We in the west coast of this great country have moved on to basketball.
